On an area of 400,000km2, Asseer occupies a distinguished and rich location in the south western part of the Kingdom which is equal to the area of three Arabian countries combined together. It gained its strategic importance from forming an important civilized centers and a huge population. It was known since old days by its nature beauty, rain water abundance, and its cool weather, in addition to embracing the warm winter resorts, as it is really a beautiful summer resort and its touristic location has its privacy.

Its people were known for their generosity, courage, calm nature, and the bright history in the Islamic conquests since the eighth year of El HIJRA. And its capital Abha that the poets flirted for its beauty but it rebelled on them till someone draw a tableau for it and rendered it in words, so it bowed for him, and a poem was made for Asseer related to its strategic inventory - the Tourism Industry - which Asseer depends on after three decades of developmental construction in this area which had reached for the man, the mountain, the forest, the bird, the air, the lowland, and the coast, till tourism here dreamt to take you one day to the seaside shore of Asseer and another day to the tops of the mountains and a third to its eastern lowlands where you can find the camp, the camel, and the fire
